[BlindTlk] Removing cane tip for six section telescopic carbon fiber cane?

[dandrews920 at comcast.net]

If it is a cane with a NFB-type tip on it, they are sometimes hard to get
off. You can't pull them straight off, you have to push on one side of the
tip, so it comes off at an angle. This may take stronger hands than some of
us have.

I haven't ever done this -- but you   might be able to use a single-edge
razor blade or exacto knife and cut the rubber away.

Hi,

 

I am told these simply pull off, that they are slip-on tips, but no way is
mine coming off that way.  I am trying to replace an almost worn-through
tip.   When I pull, there is some definite resistance although the tip
easily turns on the bottom of the shaft.

 

I would like to hear from anyone who uses these canes and has replaced a
tip.

 

Thanks a ton.

 

Judy
